Trekori
i'm freezing, it's not winter yet
but my fingers and toes
are shivering beneath these sheets
and i feel so alone
i don't want to die, i want to sleep

"But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura

Trekori i'm freezing, it's not winter yet @[Andulvar] BROKEN VISIONS LET THE DARKNESS HEAL Such a strange new world to have stumbled upon. Askavi destroyed itself in the war, though it was apparent from the land’s discovery that it would never be a welcoming home. The struggle for survival was immediate and the great battles over what little resources present was the only way of life possible. Perhaps it is relief that consumes me in this unfamiliar territory but I cannot say for certain. My stride is slow and I do all I can to not look a fool with the abundance of grass. It is not something I am used to seeing, starvation was common in my former plagued home. I dip my head as I continue to trudge forward and grab a nibble at the tall greenery. A running water winds beside me and upstream there is a figure. I pause for a moment before I get too close where engagement must occur. Lowering my lips into the cold water as I peer sideways to study it with the hope of being nonchalant. Lanky, long. Most likely young with the lack of being filled out. I sigh as I decide to continue up the stream. ”Hello,” it sounds too forced and I can’t help it. Pleasantries aren’t something I’ve done for awhile. Isolation had taken me hostage for too long. For a moment I don’t even recognize the horse voice as it leaves me. ”Forgive me for intruding.” Giving a bleak smile I lift my head and meet the colt’s purple eyes. ”I was wondering if you might tell me where we are?” notes: he is rough right now i apologize @Trekori

BROKEN VISIONS LET THE DARKNESS HEAL I remain fixated on the skinny body, the way it shivers in the breeze. I can’t recall if I was ever all skin and bone or if I have always been somewhat large and muscled. At any rate, we have uncanny similarities. His wings seem out of proportion with his body but that will likely change, he will grow into them or in my case they will outgrow him. My jagged twin horns and his own eerie one. ”Good observation,” the words tumble out of my mouth quietly before I can stop them. As he steps forward I inhale sharply, raising my head above his ever-so slightly. Ice-blue eyes look down to his violet ones. ”I am Andulvar, though if we are going by nicknames now you may call me Var. I come from a place once called Askavi, though now it may as well be called the land of dirt.” The way the wind gives chills to the boy concerns me in a way I can’t explain. It places a weird feeling in my gut. It reminds me of home. The children who would almost blow away should even the faintest breeze hit them. It is almost without thinking that I step forward to his face and untuck my large feathered wings and curve them to shield Kori’s sides slightly. ”You are all skin and bone, child. Have you no common sense or appetite?” I click my tongue in disapproval. I can’t help myself. It makes no sense to me that in such a verdant place there would be those who are so scrawny coming from my home. @[Trekori] var is so conflicted

BROKEN VISIONS LET THE DARKNESS HEAL
”The children in Dirtland didn’t have the luxury of being nice and plump like you do here in Banana or whatever you call it.” I snap, I can't help it. My voice is stern and final, my unhappiness clear. The child then makes some excuse about having a high metabolism. Right, even I could see through that lie. ”No matter. We will get you fed and fatten you up eventually, boy. Don’t you want to grow sturdy?” I’m not sure what I have decided, but I do not feel like I can leave this poor little Kori alone. He seems like he needs someone, guidance. Perhaps he has a family but they do not seem near him now. I lean my head down to softly for comfort as the winged boy sighs. With a sigh I realize what to do. I will foster the child, if that’s what he desires. An unlikely pair we’d make. I never thought I would have a colt trailing me around, or anyone for that matter. Never interested me. However, this is a new place and new beginnings often mean that we must change. ”Well then I suppose we must find a home together if that is what you wish. Do you have any ideas of where to start? You seem more familiar with this region than I am.” I can’t pin my finger on it. Though it seems as if we almost need each other in an odd way. @[Trekori] boom VAR DAD |
